The blindfold race!

PianoCube said:
I tried it last week, but even with a lot of solved centers pieces, I used forever to memo the centers. Got a lot of 2- and 3-cycles which confused me a lot. It was my second 4BLD attempt tough.

BTW, I won multi BLD with only 1 point? Where did everyone go?

Final exams.... :( In one week from now, I'll probably be trying a multi-bld every day.
 
3x3 BLD: 1:22.12, DNF(1:21.02), 1:42.79, DNF(1:49.34), DNF(1:38.92), DNF(1:51.82), 1:19.81, DNF(1:35.91), 1:39.59, 2:16.60, DNF(1:39.06), DNF(1:30.04), 1:36.11, 1:41.08, 1:31.92, DNF(1:36.19), DNF(1:11.29), DNF(1:58.40), 1:12.27, DNF(2:00.89)

Mean of best 5: 1:24.45
Accuracy: 9/20

4x4 BLD: 13:28.17, DNF(10:29.47), DNF(10:42.28), 10:13.06, 11:41.82, 9:44.27, DNF(1:46.59), DNF(9:01.24)

Mean of best 2: 9:58.67
Accuracy: 4/8

Pretty satisfied with the accuracy...6th solve was my first sub 10 :)
7th solve: After 1:46 I realized I had memod the centers wrong, and I just gave up :/
8th was off by 3 centers.

5x5 BLD: DNF(~67), DNF(36:56)
In the first one, I had to take a half an hour break during my memo to go out and eat dinner :/
Second was only 2 centers off :(

I urge all of you to go back in time and try the first 4BLD scramble of last week :)

I don't like the scramble too much either, because I like all center comms to start at U.
Even if all the bottom centers were solved I would then get all center comms starting from F or L.
But of course it is nice to see 12 centers solved from the start (I could not get more).

Multi = 1/2 = 0 in 5:15
Memo 3:27, beginning to be annoyed that I cannot do two cubes moderately fast.

DNF, 4:31.16, 5:13.72, DNF, DNF

Good accuracy. The mean was not better than last time, but still good. Got 3 sub 4:00 DNF's...

MultiBLD: 3/3 25:42.56

PB multiBLD. I think I'll try 4 cubes next time, but it might be difficult to get sub 40 minutes.

I'll try some 4BLD, but it will most likely just be DNF's.

--------------------------

4bld:
Mean: DNF
Accuracy: 1/8

1. DNF (43:24.44) Off by two corners and two centers
2. DNF (38:15.86) Off by three corners and three wings
3. 41:30.53 Second succsess and PB!
4. DNF (30:58.10 [19:00]) Off by 3 corners. FML.
5. DNF (30:09.67 [≈20:30]) Off by 8 wings and 4 corners. I think I did Rw B as a set up move for the last center com, and B’ r’ to undo it -_-
6. DNF (31:42.93) Off by five centers, 14 wings and 7 corners. Something went terribly wrong. Good time considered I had to re memo 12 wings after I relized they were mismemorized.
7. DNF (33:35.82) Off by 3 corners and 2 edges.
8. DNF (38:07.95) Off by 4 corners, 8 edges and 2 centers. Did a lot of memo mistakes I had to fix.

4BLD Y U so difficult?

Here we go!

Multi-BLD 15/17 = 13, 52:21

Memorization: 32:44

Two flipped edges in 1st cube (I forgot the last word, made a random guess);
Completely forgot edges in 6th cube.

Time is very good for me.

Too lazy to do all 20 solves, so why not just get 5 successes in your first 5 solves, and quit while you're ahead!
